Gloria Bell (2019)
Like Michael Haneke before him, Sebastian Lelio has attempted that most boldly self-referential of acts – or, some might argue, the most onanistic – and remade, pretty much shot-for-shot, one of his past films. Gloria Bell is an English-language reworking of Gloria, the director’s 2013 drama of middle-age malaise. Here the action is relocated from Santiago to Los Angeles, with Julianne Moore replacing Berlin best actress winner Paulina García as the titular character, a fifty-something divorcee negotiating the choppy waters of pre-retirement life.
